Seems to me when testing cars for performance, they would use similar top line cars. If motor trend wants to use the R/T more power to them. But for performance testing 425 hp vs 426 hp would be much closer. I noticed the writers noted that Gt and SS had brembos. SRT-8 has brembos. They talk about how soft the suspension was... hmmmm SRT-8 has stiffer suspension. But if cost is how they see it then thats the results. I'll buy a copy because I think the times the R/T ran are really good despite the last placement. I wonder why they used a fully dressed out R/T that would make it even more porky?
